Saturday my main man and I (mostly K, but I was a key player in the french toast) whipped up a huge brunch for ourselves and our roomies. It was really quite impressive. I like taking photos of food.
Yeah, see that french toast. Looks good, huh?
There wasn't only coffee, slices fruit and incredible french toast. There was scrambled eggs. You'd be able to see them if the french toast wasn't stealing the spot light.
But there was homestyle (which I've decided means thicker, fattier and more delicious) bacon, breakfast sausages, and English muffins! It was a serious spread for four people (One roommate was sadly missing) but we did pretty darn well as polishing this table off.
Later that afternoon we headed to good ole Port Elgin for my two little second cousins' high school Graduation party. Yes my Second cousin is graduating high school. I used to babysit him and his siblings. His mother used to babysit me and my siblings. I have a huge family, and my mom is the youngest of 8 children so there are strange generation gaps.
I didn't get many pics due to lack of opportunity and grounded-ness (boy are these kids popular!) and it was pouring rain but I did get a few jems of my cousin's little girl Eva. Both her and her older brother both look like precious moments characters. Big huge blue eyes, droopy long eyelashes. Adorable.
She was having a blast in the water!
Mid-week I spent a fantastic day doing all things wedding with the lovely Jenna and holy guacamole did we ever get a lot of things checked off the to-do list! Including.... the ever taunting... ever foreboding... seating chart.
I had experience helping my older sister with hers and Jenna was not looking forward to it at all as she had previously tried to tackle it on her computer. Being the teacher I am, I decided we needed visuals. So we hit the floor.
We started with a replica of the floor plan with numbered tables. Then Jenna used a circle punch to punch out each guests name individually.
Oh yeah, and they were color coded and organized according to relation to the bride and groom.
Then we started to place names at tables, and then moved them all around... and then moved some more. We also found we needed four extra seats so a phone call to the tent vendor was called for.
The groom jumped in as well. He doesn't look perplexed at all, eh?
After approximately four hours...
It was complete! And worked out quite well, we believe! After finishing this we were spent and headed off to bed.
Today marks two weeks until rehearsal dinner and other wedding festivities will truly begin. It's so exciting and I couldn't be happier to have helped Jenna knock a few more things off her wedding list! She's got everything organize and mapped out, she'll be a real asset in my wedding party one day haha. Jenna will be the most beautiful bride and her and Jesse are just going to continue to be the most beautiful couple. Can't wait.
Also, a bocce ball set has been purchased. Bucket list task soon to be checked off. Many other plans are unfolding. Stay tuned.
